The one change in the proposed new CBA that could have the biggest impact right off the bat are the rules governing free agency. From 2006 to 2009 a player with at least four years in the league was eligible to be an unrestricted free agent. This ballooned to six years in 2010, but is expected to go back to the original four-year time frame under the terms of the new CBA. This would add a number of quality players to the free agent ranks that are already waiting for an agreement in order to find a new home. Some of the more notable names that would be eligible are WR Steve Smith, RB Ahmad Bradshaw, and TE Kevin Boss of the Giants, OT Jermon Bushrod of the Saints, DT Brandon Mebane of the Seahawks, and LB Clint Session of the Colts.
The 100-day long lock-out that is likely to go on for at least a few more weeks will have cost this year's crop of rookies close to four months of vital preparation for their new career in the NFL. Time will tell how this ends up affecting their ability to make an impact as a rookie, but Bodog.com has still listed odds as to which players will be named this season's ‘Rookie of the Year'.

Just focusing on offense, Carolina QB Cam Newton and Atlanta WR Julio Jones are the NFL odds on favorite to win this year's award at 11/2. You would have to go with Jones out of this pairing, as it is hard enough for a rookie quarterback that has had a full offseason to prepare with his coaches to be successful right away, let alone one that is already way behind the curve.
The next favorite is Cincinnati WR A.J. Green 13/2. Once again you have to defer to Jones given that he has already had a chance to work with his quarterback Matt Ryan, while Green has no idea who will be throwing the ball to him this season.
The fourth favorite is New Orleans RB Mark Ingram at 15/2. Paired against Jones, you would have to give the slight nod to Ingram in this matchup. The Saints were ranked 28th in the league last season in rushing as injuries plagued both Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush for a good part of the year. Chris Ivory was the team's leading rusher in 2010 with 716 yards, but Ingram has a good chance to emerge from training camp as the lead back come opening day against Green Bay, while Jones will probably start the season as the third receiver behind Roddy White and Michael Jenkins.

violations to the NFL's Substance Abuse Policy
spension from the league for violations to the NFL's Substance Abuse Policy. According to ESPN's John Clayton, Browner may have a good chance to win his appeal and he's already turned down one potential deal, which points to the idea that Browner has some leverage in the situation with the threat of potential federal litigation.
Here's some background on the situation:
According to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com,
Browner was advanced to Stage 3 of the program for "failure to cooperate," according to a source with knowledge of the situation, for missing a series of drug tests back in 2006 and 2007, when he was in fact out of the league. Sources say Browner claimed he never received any letters notifying him of the missed tests, and, was unaware that he was responsible to continue taking drug tests long after being released by the Broncos and through his time in CFL.
Browner was unaware of the requests for further tests, but it was those missed tests that advanced him deep into the program to the point where he was facing more lengthy suspensions. Browner faced a four-game suspension back in 2007 (he was released by Denver in July of 2006) but many of the letters and other communication were sent to an old address of a former girlfriend.
Obviously, the Seahawks then signed Browner in 2011, but per La Canfora, both the Hawks and Browner were unaware that he was in Phase 3 of the program.
La Canfora:
Browner ended up back in the NFL in January of 2011, unaware he was in an advance stage of the drug program, and, according to his official NFL player transaction page, there are no suspensions recorded from his time in Denver. The Seahawks did not know of his status in the program either, upon signing him, sources said, nor did any of the handful of teams who brought Browner in for tryouts prior to him signing in Seattle. Only in August of 2011 did Browner receive a letter from the league notifying him that he was in fact in Stage 3.
Here's where it gets interesting:
Browner was tested roughly 200 times while back in the league, but did not have a positive result until very recently, when he had a small amount of marijuana in his system, according to a source. However, had he not been escalated to Stage 3 for his missed tests when out of the NFL -- if he was in Stage 2, for instance -- two years of clean tests would have be enough to get him out of the program entirely.
The meaning here is that with so many clean tests over two years, in any normal circumstances, Browner would not have even faced suspension for the latest failed test. He'd likely have been given a slap on the wrist, a fine, and put into a more frequent testing process, as a Stage 1 or Stage 2 player would see (generally speaking).
Browner's argument is logical: he should be treated in the same manner as the rest of the players in the NFL in terms of the drug testing process and escalation process for Phase 1 and 2, because his elevation to Phase 3 (and subsequent lifetime membership) was unjust and unwarranted.
Simply put, because of the 200-odd drug free tests over the last two years, Browner maintains he should not be facing the terribly burdensome and overkill year-long ban for this recent failed test, particularly because he was only put into Phase 3 because he was in Canada trying to make a living and get back to the league. The NFL's lax reporting and disclosure of the information to Browner is a big factor too.
As La Canfora points out:
Browner is fighting his one-year suspension vigorously and with his future earning potential as the top corner available in free agency greatly impacted by any suspension, is prepared to sue the league for its handling of how it notifies and handles a player's drug status once he is terminated. That could have potentially huge ramifications for any other players who have experienced a similar set of circumstances while out of the league and failing to miss tests they were unaware of. Many players might naturally assume that once out of the league, they would no longer be subject to testing from a past employer.
ESPN's John Clayton gave an update on the situation on Tuesday, and it looks like some possibly good news for Browner. Said Clayton, per examiner.com:
"I think he has been offered one deal and has turned it down. The one year I think is going to be off the table. But I don't think he settles for anything less than a four-paycheck, no-suspension type of arrangement. If not, I think he takes it to federal court. I think he feels very good about his case."
As for the timelime?
"He had three days of hearings last week, all done by phone, and he's still awaiting a verdict. He's still not anticipating anything very quickly."
This sort of goes along with the Seahawks' decision to cut Perrish Cox a day after signing with him, a move that Pete Carroll said was to wait and see what would happen with Browner. I'm guessing Seattle would have just put the currently injured Browner on the IR if they believed strongly that he would be suspended (to open up a roster spot), so they have to believe Browner's chances at winning the appeal are pretty good.
